Ensure VS Code Desktop can reconnect to workspace after timeout

[tysonrm]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Yes, having selected local IDE, when workspace times out, IDE can't reconnect (because it doesn't know to restart the workspace.)

Describe the behaviour you'd like

A customization to VSCode and other popular IDEs that restarts the workspace before attempting to reconnect to it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A ping to prevent the workspace from timing out.

I'm very busy but it might be worth it to contribute if I get some guidance on this. Love your platform. Excellent work!

Additional context

A solution to this issue may be something where a dialog pops up when a workspace times out, similar to how GitHub Codespaces does it.

Just having a button to restart the workspace easily would be great (#4782 may be related to this solution).

Thanks for raising @tysonrm ! 🙏

It won't be solved by, but relates to:

• Epic: User Configurable Workspace Timeouts (CLI command + user preference) #9038

A potential solution: intercept ssh requests in k8 ingress controller, check/restart targeted workspace, foward ssh.
